Finn Allen had a phenomenal time in the 2026 T20 World Cup. His best knock came in the semi-final against South Africa at Eden Gardens, the home of the Kolkata Knight Riders. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed an unbeaten century off just 33 balls. If he gets going, he is pretty hard to keep in check. For a man who has so much power, Allen has also worked on his ability to hit ramp shots and scoops to keep the bowlers guessing.

While Tim Seifert scored more runs than him during the T20 World Cup, Allen has the ability to bludgeon attacks and hand his side the momentum early in the innings.
